SPOTLIGHT ON RESEARCH

Institute for STEM Education (I-STEM)

Commitment to excellence in STEM education is imperative for the University and the
nation. I-STEM is a major interdisciplinary education center that offers a wide range
of academic year and summer activities for faculty, graduate students, undergraduates,
and K-12 students and teachers.

CEWIT is a government-industry-academic partnership leading the next wave of the wireless
and information technology revolution. The Center conducts world-class interdisciplinary
research in the emerging critical technologies, fosters new enterprise development,
addresses the technology worker shortage and has superior experience handling the
needs of industry.

The Advanced Energy Center is a partnership of academic institutions, research institutions,
energy providers and industrial corporations. Together they pursue pioneering energy
research and deploy education and technology with a focus on efficiency, conservation,
renewable energy and nanotechnology applications for new and novel sources of energy.

The Turkana Basin Institute is a collaborative, international, multi-disciplinary
organization
co-founded by the Leakey family and Stony Brook University that facilitates scientific research in northern Kenya. TBI has two field stations for scientists and students, and also runs a community
outreach program and a field school taught by experts in their field.

Through research in Stony Brook’s laboratories, gifted physician-scientists are gaining a
better understanding of cancer and developing new approaches to diagnosing and treating
the disease. The center focuses on three core areas — clinical care, research and
education — all of which lead to improved care. We use a team approach to clinical
care,
with our health professionals bringing their expertise at every stage for optimal
treatment.

Stemming the (Rising) Tide of Climate Change

Research yields new strategies for protecting the biosphere.

There’s no denying that as the Earth is getting warmer, our weather patterns are shifting,
wreaking havoc the world over. Stony Brook University researchers are at the forefront
of the search for solutions to the challenges presented by climate change, from protecting
the coasts from the ravages of storm surges to anticipating the social changes brought
about by drought to predicting which species might be threatened with extinction.
